What Do People Do All Day?

What Do People Do All Day? by Richard Scarry

In Escuelita, we are students. Playing and learning is our work. What kinds of work do other people do? Our Moms and Dads do different kinds of jobs in our community -- doctor, scientist, firefighter, librarian, chef, office manager, photographer, contractor, computer programmer, architect, teacher, mail carrier, sales associate, farmer, police officer, military officer, artist...

We invited parents to share about their work with us, to help us learn about what people do all day.

Some of our parents are Architects!

"My dad shows the people what the drawing looks like and then they pick the drawing they like and then they get a new home. My dad is even going to build a new house in Brazil. I'm going to Brazil and I will go on 3 airplanes to get there and then I will be next to my mom. I will see avó & avô."

Thank you Jeff for teaching us what an architect does!

 

Many of our parents work in the medical field.

"Doctors are helpful."

"Doctors are mommies after they take off their white jacket."

"Doctors are not scary all the time."

"Doctors give us tea. My mommy and my daddy don't give me medicine when I'm sick, I have tea and water and mint and ginger its good for my body."

"My mommy give me grape medicine that taste yucky! It makes me feel better when I'm sick."

  

"Doctors help our mommies make us better."

"Doctors check your heart."

Thank you Dr. Elena and Dr.Linda for teaching us about different kinds of doctors!

Some parents in our community are Chemists and Scientists.

We are growing mushrooms in our science classroom! Thank you Chemist Jeremy for visiting our class and teaching us how beneficial fungus is.
